  • Not fond of how she always cuts him off

    I'm growing tired of Lucy always cutting Saul off when he's trying to talk. He is so accommodating to her. She should let him talk and take a freaking breath! Geeeze! This is not a competition! Have some respect for the guy!

  • Excellent Show

    I really enjoy tuning in to Saul and Lucy. I find their stories, insight, advice and discussions really good food for thought as a gardener.

    Nothing gets my gardening week started like weeding or dead heading with them chatting away in my ear. Really gets me excited to garden. I hope to be a head gardener one day.

I think I’ve been with them since the start and loved the developments in their gardens and lives.
